Well…..
WELL……
First….
Bolton is Not a Donald Trump fan anymore….
But the results are from 1,000 likely midterm voters with mostly GOPer’s in the group….
It’s a real early poll….
But it’s does show something I HAVE been saying here…
Donald Trump support IS softening among Republican voters…..
A new nationwide survey by John Bolton Super PAC of voters reveals that a majority of Republican primary voters now agree “that a new Republican candidate – a fresh face – would be a stronger candidate to defeat Joe Biden in 2024.” That is a major shift since our first national poll taken in April where 50% of primary voters said Trump would be the strongest candidate to defeat Biden while 36% said another candidate would be stronger. That’s a shift of 17 points away from Trump and 16 points to a “fresh face” – a 33-point swing.
Specifically, Republican primary voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the January 6 riot, sided with Pence over certifying electoral college voters, and are concerned over the recent Trump Organization indictments.
Ambassador John Bolton:
“The significant amount of data in this poll should be of considerable interest to Republican candidates at all levels: presidential, congressional, and state/local.
The data show the fissures in Trump’s base are expanding, and show that GOP voters still prize good policy above anyone’s personality.”
Other key findings from the poll include:
- A third of Trump’s most ardent supporters – Republican primary voters who are Very Favorable to Trump – now say a fresh face would be a stronger candidate against Biden than Trump. Of Republican primary voters who are less ardent Trump supporters – voters who are Somewhat Favorable to Trump – 69% said a fresh face will be a stronger candidate…
A poll by John Bolton says Republicans are turning away from Trump?
Damn who would have thunk that!
In the next few weeks I’m sure we will hear of all sorts of Republican politicians reacting to this revelation by telling the world that the Republican Party needs a “new face.”
And I’m sure we will read all about it here!
I’m sure Bolton is being ‘fair and balanced’!
